PG Sixers - Solid Win

That was a fun win, curious to see if some of the promising carries on throughout the season. Dame and Giannis dominated and all the role guys fit in to contribute

A big who can box out/get their own rebound and bark at our guys for being lazy pricks would go a long way in fixing a flaw we have.

Very impressed with the Bucks opener. Giannis & Dame looked great, Brook put on a defensive clinic, Trent & Prince fit in very nicely, Pat & Bobby looked like solid bench guys, and we ran smart schemes on O & D. Even got some fun Tyler Smith minutes to end it.

I'm curious if this 8 man rotation will hold or if Doc will eventually start going deeper into his bench

If Trent can be this good of an on ball defender all year then look out. Also, Prince passing was a nice boost to go along with his shooting and timely cuts.

Also, I have to give credit to Pat C for stepping up. He has looked much improved which is great.

I mean if Dame is BACK back we're gonna smoke teams lmao.

GTJ and Prince on minimums was seriously good work this summer.

Brook had 8 boards 6 blocks and 6 assists.

The Gary Trent contract year push is going to work out well for us.

Only 6 fast break points tonight for the Sixers. What a dramatic shift from Griffins Bucks last year.

The issue being that quality bigs are unaffordable vets or young players who are unlikely to bark at the perimeter players to get them into position. Or, do what we've done in the past, and trade for guys who are basically cooked.

I agree with you. Horst needs to find someone like an overseas vet we can get on the cheap.

We took care of business on the road. Good start to the season.

Stuff that. Giannis in late season FT form I see

The coaching staff continuing to get on them about it would be helpful as well. Our players aren't morons but it's frustrating that they still can't get these bad habits out of their game.

But it will be refreshing not having to watch him in a Bucks uniform this year.

Dame making shots and no Beasley are the 2 most important improvements we needed.

I missed the game, but how badly did Doris trigger the Bucks board today?
